Sometimes VirtualBox networking just doesn’t work. Even with the Vagrant workaround there seems to be a few issues. Update: So things aren’t looking so great. If they are delayed, it means I’m having some drama with the new version of VirtualBox. I’ll be doing new Packer builds of my Vagrant boxes over the next few days. I’m sure a new version of Vagrant will come soon, making this workaround unnecessary. Fortunately Simon Coter has our back, and previously published this workaround. The current version of Vagrant (2.3.1) fails with a version compatibility error when used with VirtualBox 7. Something a little funky happened on macOS (Intel), so I removed VirtualBox and installed it again. VirtualBox installed with no drama (see update below) on my Windows hosts. In fact, an interesting feature in VirtualBox can save sessions on the operating system running on the virtual unit, so you can close it and come back exactly where you left it.The downloads and changelog are in the usual places. The advantages of creating virtual units are many, like using programs that are only compatible with one operating system or the other, taking the virtual modular units with you, and creating backup copies of them. The program supports almost all versions of the most recent operating systems, such as Windows 10, Mac OS X Yosemite, and the latest updates of Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution. You have to take into account that these take part of the actual physical resources of your computer, so you need equipment that is powerful enough to run both the guest and host operating systems. The virtual disc where the system runs is completely customizable, and it lets you modify the virtual hardware to whatever specs you need, be it the processor, the RAM memory, or the storage capacity. VirtualBox is an open-source and multi-platform tool, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, as well as other operating systems, that lets you create virtual disc units where you can install a guest operating system, inside the one on your own computer, and use it as if it were actually installed.
